Built by hand in the tradition of Danish mid-century design, this rocking chair is for people who know the difference between something manufactured and something made. The solid hardwood frame carries a sculpted, low-profile silhouette: an arched crest rail, tapered back spindles, and arm rails shaped to rest the eye as much as the body. No veneer. Every joint cut and fitted by hand.
The natural finish lets each species speak for itself. No stain, no dye. What you see is what the wood is.
Red Oak — $2,450
Warm, open grain with a subtle ray fleck. The most traditional of the three, honest and durable.
Sapele — $2,550
Rich ribbon figure with a warm reddish-brown tone. It photographs like walnut and works like walnut, with a character all its own.
Walnut — $2,850
The benchmark of American hardwood furniture. Deep chocolate tones, straight grain, and a natural luster that only improves with age.
Every chair comes with a seat and back cushion, sewn to order and upholstered in Cambria by Folio. Cambria is a performance textile with the hand of linen and none of its fragility. It's built on Crypton, so it repels liquid, stains, soil, and odor, and it stays fade-resistant and pet-friendly through years of daily use. It's PFAS-free, Greenguard Gold certified, and made in the USA.
This matters more than it sounds. A rocking chair is furniture you actually live in, usually with a child, a coffee, or a dog somewhere in the picture. Most makers put a beautiful fabric on a chair like this and quietly hope. I'd rather put a fabric on it that survives.
Choose your colorway:
Beige — Warm and quiet. It settles into the wood and lets the frame do the talking.
Navy — Deep and saturated. The strongest contrast against all three species.
White — Clean and bright. It opens up a room, and the Crypton is what makes white a real option here rather than a brave one.
Covers are removable. Professionally cleanable, cleaning code W.

Overall: 36"H × 26"W × 31.5"D
Seat: 16"H, 26"D
Interior seat width: 22.75"
A note on the footprint: because of the rocking base, the piece extends past the seat depth front to back. Leave at least 36" of clearance in your space.
Frame sealed with clear lacquer. Wipe it with a warm, damp cloth and dry it right away. Skip the chemical cleaners. Dust with a soft cloth. Built for indoor use.
For the cushions, mild soap and water handles most things. Blot, don't rub. For anything stubborn, have them cleaned professionally, cleaning code W. Natural variation in the weave is characteristic of the material, not a defect.
Your chair is made to order in Philadelphia. Local delivery is included anywhere in the greater Philadelphia area. I bring it myself and make sure it sits right in your room. It's the best part of the job.
Past the local area, I quote shipping by destination, crated freight or white-glove, whichever you prefer. Reach out before ordering and I'll get you a number. Nothing ships until you've seen the quote and approved it.
Payment is collected in full at checkout. That money buys the hardwood I select, mill, and cut for your chair specifically, and it puts your cushions into production. None of it comes off a shelf.
Cancel for any reason within 48 hours and you get a full refund, no questions asked. After that, the material is committed and the order can't be cancelled.
A note on the photos: the cushions shown on the chair are a prototype in stock fabric. Your production cushions are Cambria by Folio in the colorway you choose — Beige, Navy, or White, shown in the fabric images here. Order a sample kit if you'd like to see and feel the real fabric before you commit.
Made-to-order pieces can't be returned. If your chair arrives damaged, photograph the packaging before you unpack any further and contact me within five days. I'll handle the claim and make it right. And if I deliver it personally and something isn't right, I take it back with me.
Lifetime structural warranty to the original owner, covering the wood frame and every joint in it. Cushions, finish wear, seasonal wood movement, and damage from misuse or outdoor exposure are excluded.
All three species come in their natural finish, no stain and no dye. What arrives is the wood itself, sealed and protected. Grain, figure, and tone vary naturally from one piece to the next. That variation isn't a flaw. It's the point.
Where a board carries a knot or a check worth keeping, I stabilize it with steel, and sometimes brass, set across the grain to hold a crack-prone area in place. Whether your chair carries it, and where, comes down to the boards I select for your build. The photos show one example; yours will be its own.
